Had a point during Saturday’s semi -finals in 2025 US Women’s amateur In Bandon Dunes in Bandon, hour. When the final written in Stone appeared.
Walking the 11th of the 11th, Megha Ganne, Seed No. 11, was four in Australian Ella Scaysbrook. Shortly afterwards, Lyla Louderbaugh went three down with three to play against Brooke Biermann, a 22-year-old graduate of Michigan state.
Seemed to be Biermann vs Scaysbrook for Robert Cox trophy.
Then, a historic hour exploded along the Oregon coast.
We will start with louderbaugh. Kansas Rising Junior won the 16th hole when Biermann made a clumsy noise. Then, Louderbough poured into birds at 17 and 18 to send the match to extra holes.
“I mean, what blow to keep him rolling. Being from Missouri, I know him, and so it was a fun match. I mean, the blow at 18 was great. She had to do it and she did,” Biermann told Roll Louderbough to extend the match.
Even with her past, Biermann did not despair. She kept her head up in unclear conditions and marched on the 10th Tee with a smile on her face.
“If I’m not happy, I don’t know why I would do it,” Biermann said. “I mean, everything I am thinking, how to walk up to 18 years old is two little cute babies and I think their mother – I was more focused on this, maybe my fault. But very delightful and for me I was like what is special. At that thing happens, I am here, I am with my family.
“So how is all the perspective.”
Both players’ cannons found the way to the tenth, and Biermann hit her approach to 15 meters. Louderbaugh sailed over the green, and her third had little chance of standing on the surface of the sloping green setting and the scream of the wind. Biermann with two blows to survive the Louderbaugh attack and scored her ticket to the final.
This leads us back to Ganne Vs Scaysbrook.
Scaysbrook maintained a four-up advantage of seven to play, but this is when Ganne started fighting again.
“I don’t say exactly what I was thinking, but you can imagine,” Ganne said. “I think I was a little staring at that moment because I felt like I was winning a moment after I went back to 3 down to 10. I reminded myself that I literally won so many matches from two down, three down, four down. The matches start at nine backs – no matter what the result is – turning into nine backs.
“I reminded myself of this and how many times have I done it. Today is no different.”
Scaysbrook made a mess of par-3 12, giving Ganne a light victory. Australian then lost a four-legged to connect the 13th, and the superiority sat to two.
Ganne, the 21-year-old growing older in Stanford, made a par-3 15 to cut the lead of the Scaysbrook into one. When Australian struck her shot in the penalty area at 17, the door was open for Ganne to grip all the way, which she did with a five-legged money.
Both players made Bogey on the Par-5 18th to send the match to additional holes and make the 2025 women’s amateur in the third edition in 125-year history to have both semifinal games go beyond 18.
In their 19th hole, Ganne stuck her approach within 10 meters per bird while Scaysbrook flew her second goal over green. After failing to get her ball on the placement surface with the next two shooting, Scaysbrook agreed to give Ganne victory.
Ganne’s monumental return was born of a methodical approach. There was no avalanche that included Scaysbrook, only the methodical pieces that now removed Ganne 36 holes away from Robert Cox’s trophy.
“I think something I have tried to work for is not to like to buy really all the moment of the moment,” Ganne said. “Moment is something you create in your head. Of course, if you can ride up, it’s good. But if you support it;
On Sunday at Windy Bandon Dunes, Ganne and Biermann, who once faced car, chip and Putt in Augusta National, will go head -to -head for the largest price in women’s amateur golf.
After Saturday’s fireworks, the two amateurs will have to dig deep to give Encore that fits the 125-year-old championship-a championship that brings the best in Ganne, who made the semifinal in 2019 as a 15-year-old before losing to Albane Valenzuela. After authorizing a massive return on Saturday, Ganne has a more planned rewriting for her women’s history in the US.
“If you tell yourself at the age of 15, here you would be, you would be pretty proud of yourself,” Ganne said when asked if she returned again in 2019 when she was four in Scaysbrook. “I was like, you are exactly the type of person who can make this happen now. Let’s go to do it.”
